David Gurteen
The Advanced Gurteen Knowledge Café Masterclass

Led by one of the world's most respected knowledge experts: DAVID GURTEEN  
This one-day masterclass is intended for people who have previously attended the basic Gurteen Knowledge Cafe Masterclass and ideally have had some practical experience of running Knowledge Cafes.

David will not only share his experience and knowledge but call upon the participants to share what they have learnt since starting to run Knowledge Cafes for themselves.

The masterclass will thus be very conversational, interactive and fluid, focusing on the participants needs.

David Gurteen has over 30 years' experience working in high technology industries. Today he works as an independent facilitator to help people achieve results through innovating, sharing, learning and working more effectively together.

David is the founder of the Gurteen Knowledge Community - a global learning network of over 15,000 people in 154 countries who share and learn from each other and who strive to see the world differently, think differently and act differently. He is well known for his Gurteen Knowledge Cafés and Knowledge Sharing workshops that he runs regularly in London and around the world.

* A review of the Gurteen Knowledge Cafe concept and process
* A review of the key principles and the does and don'ts that help make a Cafe a success
*A look at the various applications where the Cafe has been and can be put to good business use

- David will share his experiences of applications that he has seen
- The Knowledge Cafe as a sales tool
- Participants will share applications from their own experience
* Sharing of experiences in running a Cafe; lessons learnt; variations in format; tips and techniques
* Getting the best out of the Knowledge Circle
* The different dynamics of very small (4 - 10 people), small (12 - 30 people) and large Knowledge Cafes (more than 30 people)

* How best to capture the outcomes of a Cafe

* A detailed look at other conversational tools such as

It is similar to the Knowledge Café in format but with very different outcomes.
